In singles play, Yew dropped a competitive first set on court four, 3-6, before dropping the second frame, 1-6. On court five, senior Des'rae Davis won her first set, 6-2, before dropping the second, 3-6, and then losing the tiebreaker. First-year Lexi Culley held her own in her court six loss, 2-6, 4-6.

The Vixens will now prepare for next week's spring break trip to Hilton Head Island, S.C. They have matches schedule against Ohio Northern (March 6), conference foe Bridgewater (March 8), and Drew (March 9). SBC won't return to its home courts at Amherst Middle School until next month, when they face local ODAC rival Randolph on Friday, April 7.
